Design Mix: Bars, Cocktails and Style
Author: Howard Watson
Cocktails evoke glamour – whether it is James Bond ordering a Martini ‘shaken not stirred’ or Sarah Jessica Parker and her friends in ‘Sex in the City’ sensuously sipping Cosmopolitans. The Design Mix – Bars, Cocktails & Style brilliantly captures the sophisticated, alluring world of today’s international bar scene. As well as profiling over 25 of the top bar and restaurant interiors, this lavishly illustrated book sheds light on the inspiration behind their cutting-edge designs. Alluding to the cocktail’s wider cultural connotations with the inclusion of film stills and posters, it also features many classic recipes as well as new creations by renowned mixologist Jamie Walker. With over 200 photos, this richly atmospheric book offers readers fascinating insights into the exclusive world of cocktail culture.

The Baby Cookbook: Tasty And Nutritious Meals For The Whole Family That Babies And Toddlers Will Also Love, Vol. 1
Author: Jeannie Lumley
Newly revised for the 1990s, The Baby Cookbook is the final word on infant nutrition. In addition to hundreds of wonderful recipes, it includes vital new information on vitamin requirements, allergies, childhood obesity, nursing, introducing solids, and balancing meals. It also features all the facts on the health benefits and risks of milk, eggs, salt, fluoride, and complete and incomplete proteins.
The Baby Cookbook also includes the author's personal journal of experiences feeding and raising her own baby. Knight's journal takes some of the fear out of raising a baby by showing parents what to expect (and beware of) in feeding their own infants and toddlers.
And, of course, there are the recipes. All of the more than 250 recipesnearly 100 of them new for this edition -- have been designed to be low in sodium, contain almost no sugar, and generally encourage good eating habits.
Best of all, most of the meals in this book can be shared by the whole family. There's Chicken Fricassee, Seafood Chowder, Cheese Enchiladas, Baked Potatoes with Salmon Sauce, Barbecued Ribs, and much, much more, including Homemade Apple Pie. We are not talking strained peas.
The Baby Cookbook is a complete guide to cooking for your family -- from ovens and stove tops to microwaves and crockpots. Finally, it's possible for working parents to prepare quick and easy meals for their children without sacrificing taste, variety, or nutrition.
Library Journal
This revised edition (Morrow, 1985) includes a discussion of nutrition and nutrient requirements, and provides information on feeding children, nursing, introducing solids, childhood obesity, and food allergies. It also contains Knight's personal journal of her daughter's food experiences during infancy and toddlerhood. Knight, who is a registered pediatric nurse, states in the preface that her aim is to ``provide a complete feeding guide in the context of family life.'' The second part of the book contains 200 healthy ``family recipes,'' which a baby of 12 months or older can share with family members. The recipes are low in sodium, contain almost no sugar, and emphasize complex carbohydrates. Microwave cookery is included as are menus. More of a cookbook than Louise Lambert-Lagace's equally useful Feeding Your Baby: From Conception to Two Years ( LJ 9/1/91), Knight's book is recommended for public libraries.-- Angela Washington-Blair, Brookhaven Coll.
